Date-of-death or current value for probate and trust administration.
An Estate appraisal establishes a defensible fair market value for a vehicle as of a specific date — typically date of death — for probate, trust administration, or estate tax purposes, following USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) methodology. Executors and heirs need a number that will hold up if the IRS, a court, or a co-beneficiary asks how it was reached.
Executors, administrators, and heirs who need an independent vehicle valuation as part of settling an estate, including small-estate affidavit filings where a vehicle's value has to be documented.
